bookshelves: non-fiction, queer-lit
Very good book. It shows a life that isn't often explored, that of poor and immigrant transgender teens. The issues explored are real and immediate. However, the story did seem to jump in some parts, there wasnt a coherent plot, more of a series of short stories.

For what it is- the first real exploration of this type - it is excellent.

I did like the fact that she pulled no punches in describing the life these teens lead.

To me it is a good thing to have someone describe the life these kids lead, more people need to hear about this. ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Marie]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77969773 Marie's review of The Child Thief: A Novel

3 years OMG!

"I wonder if he really likes that"

"I hope that I'm doing this the way he likes and hes not just trying to be nice."

"Cant we do it just a little more, please?" ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Marie]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/138860-synthesis Marie made a comment in the LGBTQA Group Books group:

This was an excellent story for me to read when I was first dealing with coming out, and some of the issues. It was interesting to read her stories of taking testosterone, and the ramifications on her life. I personally got a lot out of the whole book and I would run to the theater to stand in line for this movie. ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Marie]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/212139-saying-hello Marie made a comment in the BDSM group:
